Samsung Executives Meet Pyeongtaek Union as Chip Strike Countdown Nears

Samsung Electronics executives visited the Pyeongtaek site on the 15th and met with the union. As an unprecedented full strike at semiconductor lines entered its countdown, the company began preparations to reduce the shock from a possible walkout. The response is centered on the Pyeongtaek workplace, where the strike is expected, and Samsung is said to have reviewed steps to limit production disruption, including reducing wafer input. At the site, the executives stressed the message that “now is the golden time for semiconductors.” If the strike takes place, operating pressure on chip lines could increase, making the company’s on-site response and contact with the union key variables.
